How to Plant Trees

1. Ensure the tree is planted at the right depth to give it warmth and let it breathe. Estimate the size of the root ball when digging the hole. The top of the root ball should be at or just below ground level - the width of the hole has to be 20-25% wider than the root ball.

2. You may use temporary support stakes (at the lower half of the tree, but not normally needed).

3. Remove PB bag.

4. Put some water into the hole before planting the tree and gently refill the hole with soil. Make sure water doesn't pond around the trunk.

5. If the weather is very dry add a 5 cm layer of mulch, but do not place the mulch too near the trunk (about 8-10 cm away) to avoid rotting.
